Biography

Born Richard Laughlin Munro in the small town of Lac La Hache in British Columbia, Canadian-born actor Lochlyn Munro made a name for himself with high-strung comic performances in such films as Scary Movie, Dead Man on Campus, and A Guy Thing, as well as turns in more dramatic roles. A gifted sportsman who won awards as a competitive athlete, Munro was in his mid-'20s when he began to focus on a career in acting. His first professional credits were guest appearances on such TV series as Wiseguy and Neon Rider, and while he made his big-screen debut with a bit part in Cadence, he spent much of the early to mid-'90s doing television work, and began building a fan base when he was cast as a regular on the Canadian drama Northwood. He also starred in the short-lived crime series Two, and played recurring roles on JAG and Charmed. Munro's breakthrough was the comedy Dead Man on Campus, in which he played an overly intense college student whose roommates, in hopes of scoring an easy A, attempt to lead him to his death; he was cast as another tightly wound young man in A Night at the Roxbury. In 2000, Munro appeared in the top-grossing horror film spoof Scary Movie, as well as a more straightforward terror tale, Dracula 2000, and Bruce Paltrow's karaoke-themed comedy drama Duets. ~ All Movie Guide

Munro was born in Lac La Hache, British Columbia. Munro started his acting career after a serious sports injury ended his dream of playing professional hockey. A talented musician, Lochlyn turned his attention to the performing arts. While playing music in various clubs around Vancouver, British Columbia, Lochlyn studied drama and improvisational comedy with many of the industry's top professionals, including the late Susan Strasberg. Having done a lot of stage work, Lochlyn then jumped into the television and film world with instant success. Lochlyn landed roles on various American projects such as 21 Jump Street (1987), Wiseguy (1987), and others.

His most famous role to date is that of Clifford "Cliff" O'Malley, a crazed frat boy in the 1998 comedy Dead Man on Campus. He starred also in Scary Movie as Greg Phillippe, spoofing Ryan Phillippe's character from I Know What You Did Last Summer.

Lochlyn has starred in two Moment of Truth movies: Stand Against Fear, as a high-school jock who uses his popularity for the all the wrong reasons; Abduction of Innocence, as the boyfriend-turned-kidnapper of a teenage lumber-heiress.

Munro also played Jack Sheridan on Charmed, appeared on Without A Trace, as well as CSI, CSI: Miami and CSI: NY playing three different characters. He won a gold medal in the British Columbia Summer Games for water skiing.
